With the help of a few of the other liveaboards, I finally get to step the mast! I still don't have the engine back in the boat but stepping the mast is a step in the right direction :) I had hoped to get a lot more done and, therefore, have a more content...
NB! are you considering purchasing this product? Check out the comment from "Breehorn Sailor " down below ("Berger Sentina Mobil" is apparently a more affordable version of the same product). I've wanted to try this product for a long time. Join me as I ta...
I had in no way expected my short (1-2 weeks planned) stay in the yard to turn into 10 videos, but here we are. Hopefully, this will be the last video I'll upload with Obelix being stuck up in the hard :)

Spurred on by the supportive comments on the previous video (Up on the hard, part 8) I've chosen to paint the area underneath the engine. I'm almost done and I'm glad I did this. Thanks, guys! :)
I'm feeling a bit under the weather so please excuse this video if it's a bit off :) All I managed to do today was to take care of a few tiny tasks aboard the boat.
I solder on the new PL259 connectors and paint (most of) the bottom. As soon as I get the cutlass bearing replaced I'll be back in the water again. Yay!
Another day up on the hard - one step closer to being back in the water :) I replace the VHF cable in my mast and prep to mount a NASA wind instrument.

In preparation for winter and in the hopes of getting an early start on next years sailing season I've put Obelix up on the hard. Lots of things to take care of! She's slowly but surely starting to look like a boat again :D
I finally finish bringing the LPG installation aboard my boat up to code.

In February and March, I'll cross the Atlantic from Portugal to the Caribbean via Cape Verde aboard a Westsail 42. I'll be crewing for Eric Forsyth. I'm super stoked for this chance to learn from such an amazing guy and for the chance to get to know the We...
Yup! I went sailing today but only for a few hours. In fact, the purpose was many to do some harbour manoeuvres but it turns out there is so much stuff growing under the boat that it's only barely able to motor. When I got back to the boat I got started on...
My plan for achieving my goal of becoming a full-time cruiser.

The items I need to bring the installation up to code didn't show up. That's okay :) I still have to finish the box. I'm really looking forward to having a working stove! That'll make living aboard much more convenient. Summer is over and it's starting to ...
In the hope of not dying in a fire explosion, I'm bringing the LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) installation aboard up to code. All I'm able to fit aboard my boat are two 3 kg butane canisters. That'll have to do :) Luckily I've found some plans on the intern...
After two weeks of hard work it finally happened! I can now officially call myself a liveaboard. Yay! BTW the pictures of the house I mention in the video are on my NAS box which is at my parents place and switched off so those pictures will have to wait :...
Tomorrow is the day! The day I move aboard my boat on a permanent basis. I'll officially be a liveaboard. I'm super stoked! Having said that I look forward to relaxing a bit - and shooting videos without being stressed ;) The last two weeks have been crazy...
I've only got three days till I need to move out of the house. The new owner was here yesterday and I gave her a quick tour of the house. She seemed like an awesome person :) Now the pressure is on to get all of my things sorted out before I move aboard th...
Finally guys! I'm done insulating the v-berth. It's been a lot of work, and I certainly hope I'll be a noticeable difference in how comfortable the v-berth is this winter. This will be my first winter living full-time aboard the boat, but I do have my two ...
